The school year has come to an end!
Last day of the school year in Tomorrow! 6/11/13!
(Currently 6/10/13 11 PM)
My Smart Little Dudes are about to finish their last day of their first year of home school! They did AMAZING! I have never before been so proud of them!
These 2 little geniuses are finishing off the year with a ton of new information that I feel they would not of had if they had been left on their own in the traditional Brick and Mortar schooling program.
My eldest is ending his school year in the middle of a 4th grade class! He had a lot more work to get done than his younger brother this year so I am proud that he got as far as he did. His year end testing compared to his beginning of the year testing had a great rise in numbers. Most kids only get an increase of 145 points in both Math and Reading, my guy improved by 245 points in Reading and 345 points in Math! He is so smart! He also did pretty great on his state testing, he passed them both!
My guy who started his year off in 1st grade courses is finishing the school year off at 15-20% completion in all 2nd grade courses! He has gotten so good at his work that when it came to his scores for his testing from the beginning to the end of the year he had massive improvements! The one that I am most impressed with was he word recognition. (I am sure this is because he knows what letters make each sound and he knows how to put them all together!) He went from below Kindergarten level in word recognition to a 12th grade word recognition this school year! I know his teacher said to take the score on that with a grain of salt but I think he is an awesome kid for getting that score! LOL His other scores were all in the 2nd to 4th grade range for all the other categories. Which is great since he is in all 2nd grade courses.
I look forward to continuing to work with my children over the Summer and into the next school year. They are also excited to be starting their Summer Camp Classes next week as well! Even my little 5 year old is going to be joining the Summer Camp fun this year and learning to use the online classroom tools that his brothers learned over the summer last year.
That is all for now. I hope to post lots of new photos and information soon! Take care!
